Major Attention Whore Thread

[Kaine for Senate '18]

As some of you know, I never write out the name of the Lord.  Instead, I write G-d.  Well, I was reading a thread about Russ Feingold being Presidnet, and I noticed a poster writing this:

The tradition is terrible.  If a Jew became president he would never swear over something that declared Jesus had any relation to G-d.

So, I just thought it was worth mentioning that I'm not the only poster to do this.  That is all.

[Keystone Phil]

Uh, congrats...? You're like every other Jew out there. Yay.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Yeah, we already knew that that was a Jewish tradition.

[Lief 🗽]

Why do Jews do this again? God isn't even his name. I would understand not writing the Tetragrammaton or something (well, not really, that's still silly), but the English word for a supreme deity?

it was originally created as a loophole to avoid defacing the name of God (as it is prohibited in certain contexts) but has evolved into a collective Jewish pride type thing

Thanks for sharing, sorry for not caring.

So, you think God is Lord Voldemort ?

John 5:43 "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him."

We don't. I have no idea why other Jews do this. God is an English word that doesn't relate in any way to the actual name in Hebrew. It's silly to add a dash in the middle.

I've been by a friend that a Christian he knows does this as well. Insanely stupid.

Probably transitioned from German written in Hebrew characters through German written in Latin characters into English, actually.

LMAO. And I thought this thread might be about something at least relatively important to constine.

[Eraserhead]

This is baby goo-goo-gaa-gaa stuff. This is also a BRTD-style thread, amusingly enough.

J'ai besoin de dix-neuf pamplemousses.

Dans mon sac! Maintenant!

Sensei, that is good. You forgot to put the verb in the first sentence and ''sac'' is masculine and not feminine.

PiT, that is very good. Only the Capital ''A'' in ''Anglais'' is wrong. As a language or an adjective, that take a minuscule. If that were the nationality (British), that would take the capital.

     I always get confused by that. I think capitalizing proper nouns is the one grammatical case where English is genuinely easier than French.
